Pushing It!

I was at the beach for a few days and did not have access to my scale. I was with about 14 people at a beautiful beach house. I brought my Larabars so I would not feel deprived when everyone else had sugary stuff. I had alternatives planned when the delish french toast breakfast was served. I read every snack package and did not even have the cool pretzle chips because they contained trace amounts of sugar. So...my scale should have been party time, right? Nope. I made up for the lack of sugar with lots of butter! Ate all of those Larabars, had extra servings of dinner and just generally over ate the whole time. I got on the scale this morning and I was up 3 lbs! What up??!? I know what is up-HELLO! The other situation is that I think I am getting my period. That is a huge miracle! I had not had one in years and I have had two in three months off of sugar. Maybe, instead of this bargaining, maybe I should dust off the darn eliptical and get moving. Okay-that is what I am doing tomorrow. I promise!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like a wonderful trip, but that's a bummer about the gain. You'll be right back on track soon, though!

I know what you mean about replacing the sugar with other yummy things. I've been fairly good with the eating healthy, but I've gotten a bit lax lately with saturated fats and making good choices calorie-wise. Which I know will bite me as I get closer to goal if I don't nip it in the bud now.

About Me

My name is Joy and I am a 42 year old with a child who is a dream come true (more on that story later) and a career that is my calling in life. I have incredible friends and am in good place in my life...except for one thing-my weight. I have been on every diet from Scarsdale, meal replacing (and gall bladder replacing) shakes, Jenny Craig and everything else under the sun. I think ultimately, Weight Watchers will be my best bet to tackle this challenge, but I am clearly not ready-yet because I still think I can eat sugar when ever I want. Sugar took so much from my life, including my fertility with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I have to get out of denial and make a change for good!
